Wowhead Introduces Unified Login For Your ZAM Accounts

Wowhead and other ZAM sites (such as TankSpot and ZAM) will now feature unified login. All of your ZAM Network accounts that use the same email address will have the same master password and premium status. You can even log in to Wowhead with your email address now!

For those without other ZAM accounts, the login process will remain exactly the same.

If you have any other ZAM accounts with the same email address you will need to merge them. The merge process begins the first time you log into any of the affected sites. The first account that you log in with will set the master password for that email address. Thereafter, logging in to any other site with an account that uses the same email address will request a master password so you can merge your accounts.

If you have multiple accounts with multiple different emails, you can also now merge them into one unified account by changing your email address to match. You will be asked for your master password to authorize merging your email addresses. Changing your email address or password on any ZAM site will make similar changes on all other sites you use your unified login with.

Your login information is always stored in a secure manner, but remember for your own safety you should never use your Battle.net email as your login.

We'll be converting accounts over in small batches to reduce the load on the new authentication server. Your account will be converted in the next few hours if it hasn't been already. You can check your unified status on your personal settings page.

I saw this and immediately thought of Battle.net. I didn't like it, I lost my first account forever because of Battle.net.

For us, it is an optional thing--if you only have a Wowhead account under your email for Wowhead (no ZAM, no Tankspot, etc), you will never have to merge.

That wasn't even the intention. It was to make malicious posters not be malicious.

Too bad it didn't work. Some users are still out there.

Won't mention any names.

Others were thinking it, Ashelia said it :P

Anyway: Wowhead, you guys really need to make official announcements before you implement things. Otherwise we will just grumble at you. You are better than this!

Sorry Miyari, this thread was at least 24hrs after lots of us tried to log in only to discover we needed to unificationise our account. And this isnt the first time this has happened with Wowhead.Flipping the switch always comes after notifying the masses. That leads to happy Wowheaders.

And, pray tell, what would the process to follow be if your system has decided that an ancient id that I once used on Allakhazam's back when I played Everquest (and have not used in years) is my "master" id, not the id I use on all the ZAM WoW sites?

I believe the ID is the e-mail address in which you used to sign up to Allakhazam (RIP).
